No regulation change for early years workers

24/07/2018

In January we told you about the Scottish Government’s consultation on the Education (Scotland) Bill and how their proposals could affect early years workers including people working in nurseries and out of school clubs.

Part of their proposal was for a new Education Workforce Council which would register and regulate early years practitioners.

In June 2018 the Scottish Government published an update on the reforms and the draft Education Bill. The key point for early years workers is that the Scottish Government does not intend to proceed with the proposed Education Workforce Council.
